I was getting so tired of garbage bags from falling into the trash can after I start to fill them. Didn't want to buy the expensive trash bags with elastic at the top. These are the perfect solution for this problem. Just wish they would last forever. Elastics do wear out eventually. Hopefully they won't break anytime soon!

Already have these, but have used them everyday for about two years. One is used in a bedroom to hold a pull shade to a roof window. This does not allow the light to enter in the morning, interupting sleep. It works perfect. Wanted to have extras, as if they get stretched too far, they begin to brake down. The others are used as they should be for garbarge cans.

Interested to see how these work for me in keeping bags in place. Really more interested in seeing whether they work acceptably for my cat's litter box. Tho' have doubts since he uses a jumbo box. But for the price, worth finding out, I guess.

Best Answer:not sure what a spiral wrap is, but it is made of a kind of plastic coating. it is not porous or rubber. sorry i could not answer better. i use them for the simply human step can. i do wish it was just a little tighter but i still like them and will buy more if this last one gets accidentally thrown out

The rubber bands are made exactly like a "scrunci" that you would use to put on a girl's or woman's ponytail. They are coated with a fabric-type material to keep them from sticking or popping. I've had mine for years and have had no breakage or stretching. I love them!!

It's like a big hair band. It is cloth/string covered. Not a plain rubber band. It holds up very well. I am still on my 1st one & would be lost with out it. They hold your bags in place very well. It is sooooo worth the money. Great buy.
